Seoul Removing 16th Freewayhttp://www.cnu.org/cnu-salons/2014/04/freeway-down-seoul-removing-16th-freeway
<p>Seoul, South Korea is leading the charge in urban freeway removal, having torn out 15 freeways in the past 12 years. This year, the city will add a sixteenth by removing the Ahyeon Overpass, a 1 km (.6 mile) long roadway constructed in 1968 - the city's first. Today, the overpass is old and ugly, eating up about $25 million annually in maintenance alone.</p>

<p>Torontonians have been calling for the removal of the Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway for more than a decade. The effort, led by <a href="http://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/" rel="nofollow">WATERFRONToronto</a>, proposes tearing down the eastern portion of the expressway and building an eight-lane urban boulevard in its place. The effort has faced resistance from controversial Mayor Rob Ford and a handful of city council members, and the debate is destined to heat up again with the release of the environmental assessment (expected later today, and to be presented to the public tomorrow).</p>

<p>Roadways along downtown waterfronts can prove to be a very volatile mission. If done right, as was the case in San Francisco's <a href="http://www.cnu.org/highways/sfembarcadero">Embarcadero</a> (link), a city can align the public with the water while also re-distributing traffic throughout the rest of the street grid. If done wrong, like in <a href="http://www.cnu.org/highways/freewayswithoutfutures2012">number of North American cities</a>, a city can sever its connectivity in terms of public engagement, economic development, and traffic management.&nbsp;</p>
